revell a340 questions
Posted by jamenator on Monday, January 9, 2012 5:38 AM

hey guys i think its time i might do another airbus kit, this time revell's a340-300 austrian "Vienna Philharmonics" .

but i dont want to do the Vienna Philharmonics version and i think it comes with SAS decals but i want to confirm this befor i buy it. also are there any other decals out there (for any airline other than the one on the box) 

thanks...    James

the plane just arrived this morning, its a big kit, i havent really done anything exept sand the sides of the nose of the right fusalage peice down a little as they are to round on this kit. I will probably post some progress pics here and there but this will probably be a slowish build.

And yes after a quick google i comfirmed the kit comes with SAS decals (which i will probably use).

And yes i know this thread is boring at the momment but it should get interesting sooner or later once i get into the kit and begin posting pics.   

has anyone here doen this kit?

YAY, the resin nose FINALY arrived today, its way better than the default nose on the kit, i'll start building it soon but first i have to finnish off revell's "NH90 NFH" kit (i will post pics when done). I was actually starting to try and shape the nose by sanding the sides down alot because i was starting to think that part was never going to show up, but now looking at the resin nose i can see that it would have taken a hell of a lot sanding and puttying to get it looking good.  

 REALLY looking foward to building it. Sorry for massive delay.
